May: Monsoon Flip Brings Cleaner Windows
The monsoon flip becomes noticeable in May. Average swell height eases to 3ft (1.0m), and the average period shortens to 8.6 seconds, but the wind statistics improve dramatically: ideal offshore conditions jump to 15% of the time. The swell direction shifts to a strong E/ENE mix -- E 40.1%, ENE 46.1% -- with heights mostly in the 0.5-1m range, so expect fun-sized, groveling waves. The wind still blows from the E/ESE much of the time, but the southwest monsoon is building, and any SW/WSW/W flow turns Lucky Point clean and glassy.
Air temperatures are warm at 28.2°C, water temperature is 29.5°C, and rain is light at 5.20 mm/day. This is the start of the small-but-clean season, so break out the fish and longboard.
